Chelsea women sell out Stamford Bridge for Barca semi-final

LONDON : Chelsea's Stamford Bridge attracted a sellout crowd for their women's Champions League semi-final second leg against Barcelona on Saturday.

It was the first time the men's stadium, with a capacity of some 41,000, had been sold out for a women's game. The women usually play at their Kingsmeadow ground in Kingston, 13 km to the southwest, which holds about 4,350.

Chelsea went into the tie with a 1-0 lead from the first leg a week ago.
